...would you believe me? Lets say I travel back in time and come to you and simply say that a man named "Barack Hussein Obama" with a Muslim family background who
lived in Indonesia for his childhood would be elected the next president. You of course would not have heard of him but using the information at hand you would have to make a judgment.

If you told me back then I would have laughed in your face and said there would be no way in hell this country would elect someone with that name and background given the events of yesterday.

OP, on 09/12/2001, if you had said that, you probably would have gotten your ass kicked.

Think about it: "The next president of the US will be a Kenyan, Communist, Muslim from Chicago..." SMACK!

Can you please stop telling me that I have a hobby of NOT collecting stamps? Seriously, I don't collect stamps. I don't mind that you collect stamps, and it's a fine hobby I'm sure. Please stop calling this thing I don't do, a hobby of mine. Sub<BR

I didn't have enough room in the thread title. Lets say that I would simply say that a man named "Barack Hussein Obama" with a Muslim family background who lived in Indonesia for his childhood would be elected the next president. That's all the info I would offer.

People wouldn't even need that much info. The Arab name alone would have been ridiculed. Which is the point.
